A friend of mine asked me to pick out a video card for his PC. He's aiming at a price range under $200 Canadian (around $150 US). He mainly uses his PC for gaming, and ripping/copying DVDs. The video in/video out stuff would be cool, but ifs gonna cost a big drop in gaming performance, he says he can do without it.

From the local stores, here is what I found:

ASUS V9520 GEFORCE FX 5200 128MB VIVO $159.99

XFX GeForce FX5200 128MB $139.95

GAINWARD ULTRA/760 GEFORCE FX 5600XT 128MB $159.99

ATI Radeon 9200 128MB $149.99

ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon 9000 Pro 64MB $169.99

Anyone have any experience with any of these?

I used to keep up with the latest and greatest, but I fell out of the loop. The companies number systems are crazy, and I cant pick no sense out of any of it.
